THE HOANO'rvE NE'S.
TflURSDAY, OCTOBER 0, 17!)
1ST. TESSA MIMUS V.til.
A'thongh the precept is nearly s old
as Christian .ty , the idea cm taineil in lbs
advice: ' Prove all tilings; liol.i fas',
that which is go ,ri" has 'till recently
been taker, in ami thoroughly digested
by comparatively fe.v N otb Carolinians.
Thanks to the much ahnsed Iepnrt
menls of Agriculture, both ,v'tate and
national our people arc slowly becom
ing aroused, and it does really seem as
if a better lime wt re coming.
The largest and m ist luscious npplcs
in the world are raised in liuncomlo
county. Dried apples from Ihi! middle
section of the Sta'e command a belle r
piice in the New Yoik market, than
tbuse from any other region, f'napejol
different varieties and great excellence
are shipped North from the famous
(Lirrett vineyard of this county and the
Tokay vineyard of Cumberland.
Thousands of gallons of good wino aro
also annually sol i fro n them at prices,
that are rapidly making their proprie
tors wealthy. A fine article of tobacco
is now made in a cou.ity as far cast as
T.enior and in many other counties,
wheo ten years ao not an acre was
planted, we s'u it grown and cured so
BcientifiiMily as to command leadily n
dollar per pound. Ii '.lie inland county
of Wayne the farmers for ti e la-t two
or three years have been raising im
mense quantities of Miawbenies, peas
Ac. and selling them in the Northern
markets at paying prices. Krery year
the people of the const and fcnunJ re
gion hate been extending their truik
ing and melon business and in many
other sections of the State the sitir.e
spirit of euterprisj is being excited
Our friends the Yankees have never had
the reputation of being a visionary peo
ple ; still it has always been a rulo with
them, when they heard of any new idea
in Agriculture or manufactures, that
s iuuded plausible, to test or prove it in
a smalt and inexpensive way and if they
found it "good" they would hold fast
to it and drive it. While 'till litely our
slower and more conservative people
would sneer at every thing new nnd
Cooteut themselves with grumbling at
the haid times, and in this great differ
ence of character lay their strength uud
our weakness.
In times past some of our people
would be mlicienlly nreus d from tl. ir
lethargy to test a new thing. Unex
pectedly and it would seem against their
wishes, they would fi id it "good." l!ui
inslra J of bold'tn la'.t to it and maliinc
something out of it, 'hey would (nop it
ts if it burl ll cm. As casts in point,
we well mention, that several years
since, wheo cotton was 17 or 13 c'.s.sc?
eral farmers of the lower Iluanoko f x
perimented with ground peas, caili
planting a few acres. In every instance
if we recollect aright.it was confessed
that the profit was greater thin on the
same number of acies of their best cot
ton. Why then did they not hold fist
m me pea tiutsf lo this day no t.-.o
of them will give the si.nc reason for
not doing so. Three, or four y u s :ioi
one ef the best Tar rivir fa i;:.r is of
Pitt County, sowed five acres in high
land rice. The. yield was very gu-al
od be shipped it to Wiluiii.-t n and
S dd it in the rough sr,i. N '. !,.n sin -e,
whilo talking with him about i, ho ac
knowledged that with half '.he. trouble, it
had made him oori: than any five aires
he had in cotton. W'ii n .ivko.l why hi
did not plant ayaiu and m ire l.rel,' his
reply was -'Well I d nu'i lu nv, I an
used to cottofi," Whilj mine of the
farmers w hae releuej to a.u s pm r
spirited, there are fur men on the It an
oke and Tar Hirer, who are miu'js at
heart, ailed the name ol planters and
love to boast of how many In'es of
cotton they make, and they will continue
to make it to the end of the chapter,
even if the bale they sell for j 1" cos:
then $o0 to make it. H it we won't
Miold. V e hail i utiior piaiso nod it uf
fords us pleasure to say that ihu pus
ent actiou of smie of our Scotland
Neck farmers is worthy of all praise.
We undarsUad that several of Uieru
bavo formed a company and tho f,..
mous Ciiiont atlachuieiil is to have u
far trn 1 ll is said, that in onion fuc.
lories, uuo of the ui m rxpeusivu pieces
of machinery, islhit which bri igs the
baled colt in Ij tha oiud '.i mi it M j
while in the blow rj.im. )f couisu with
this "A'tuclimeii" there niilbrj no nee I
of this. Then ton instead of ihe fi ire
being torn and broken as when it passes
through the gin saws, it is caided from
tbe seed and will naturally make a finer
aod stronger thread. There is an
other industry, which b'is assumed
giant proportions in the great Xirth
West duiing the last two years, and il
is the making of sugar from a variety of
sorghum culled the Amber cane and it
has even been mado t suns extent
from corn stalks. It j now spreading
like wild firj through tha eot'uo West
end reaching as hr south as Tennessee
and Miss't'.iippi. As ovtrv in the
U mon
can grow the different v-iet-i f
sorghum and all are equally interested
tho next session of Congress, will
doubtless place a tar'.tT on sugar, syrup
aod molasses. If such ac'.io:i is taken,
the iiiakiu;; i f sugjr or even syrup will
for the next few years be very profiable.
We know of two instances in this county
this 'fall, where the. patties using a
patent chemical to remove impurities,
have succeeded rti making a first rate ar
ticle of syru;. both from Amber cane
and from corn stalks, and but for un
avoidable cinismusances, by which the
following o( directions was prevented,
su-jar would hare been probably uiude
ou both occasions.

Tho lair is now a little less than two
wicks oil'. II 'ports from the. Executive
t'jinuii'lee auj from nil sections of the
c tunny justify v, in saying that the suc
cess of the fair is beyond a doubt. The
Secretary and Treasurer have received
assurances from uutnbers of people, of
many and various articles for exhibi
tion. Fioral II ill will be more attrac
tive than ever before: the stock depart
ment will have many entries; Michinery
Hall will be full of all kinds of machinery ;
Agricultural II ill will bu full nnd last
but not l.iast, thi; racing will be fi.ie,
IJjsi'Ies tho as already entered, the hor
ses (roni thi) I! aleigh fair will be on the
grounds an I the running and trotting
will be all that can be desired.
AuiJcs lor exhibition will be taken
in ciui.-iM! and placed on the grounds by
the S ipeiiu'.en lent of transposition
and placed in position by the Sjpeiin
to .dcul of the proper depattment. Ail
nr' ides sent to the fair for 1'xhibiliou
will be charged freight, one way and the
ru mey will be refunded wheu rc-shipped
so that exhibitors, will be at no expense.
All Loiseti or cattle lor racing or ex
hibition, all paultrr, sheep and birds wiM
be taken care of uud fed al the expense
of the Society.
With the present maniigurDent no
one need fear that injustice will be done,
partiality shown or i.egligenco or care
lessness be seen. I) ery night during
tiie week there will bu a meeting of the
.Society to which the public is invited to
hear auiia'ili! tuiilrcssc-i by distinguished
and well informed men.
All persons who desire informatiou in
regard to anv thing connected with the
fair can communicate with the Pres
ident, Secretary, Treasurer or any mem
ber of the Kxjcaiive S iciety, whose ad-
dru-i's we give in another column, and
we assure them of a prompt and explicit
auswer.
The grounds, from present indications
will be crowded every day, by people
Iroin this and ail sections of the Stale
und irgiuia. Accommod tlioiis can be
obtained by ull. uud excursions tickets
will be issued by all the Railroads,
livery one should m.iko an cllut to he.lo

the people new aod good ideas about
funning, and every thi ig else and does
much to produce that unity of action

'A e most beaitily cudoisc- the just
tribute which our neighb ar, ihe Nor.b
auipton K.'pnrter. renders to tho distin
guished gentleman whose naiuo heads
this article.
.Judge Avery is indeed a model North
Carolina . Judge, and we think North
Carolina has in the past rendered the
best tjpts of judicial character. The
restoration of a judiciary like that which
once honored and adorned our Sta'e, is
cause (or grrat congratulation. In our
eiper'ciica no j idis has made a belter
i Df rcssioa on our people thau Judge
Avciy. In his modesty, simple habits,
iriiform curtesy and gentle bearing to
the lawyers, the suiters, the witnesses,
the officers of tbe court and the peop.c
generally, ho represent the true North
Carolina gentleman. In his laborious
attention to business, his uniform ni.
,,icnC(ti h;, )r(1,((1 o01.i, ,,, ,)is (awill
arity with the precedents, his general
learning in the law and his strong com
mon sense he is as we have before said
"a model judge.'' From all class of
our people we have heard but one ex
pression ol undivided satisfaction at bis
administration of justice in our cou..ly.
II is ii fluence has been that of a good
man and a wise und upright judge. He
is indeed the honorable scion of thut
illustrious name ia the Mecklenburg
Declaration,
I'noi'i.K should be caretul how they
send articles to newspapers for publica
tion. What appears as a j iltc to them
sometimes bears serious consequences
and the paper is held responsible.
It is a rUe among editors to throw
into the waste basket all communica
tions of whatever nature, unlets accom
panied with the name of some reliable
person ; and even with tho striut en
forcement of this rule editors are some
limes imposed upon as were last weik
by either a foul or a scoundrel who had
neither wit nor delicacy but who had
impudence and effrontery enough to
supply tho whole country. If we only
were affected we would care little. We
have grown callous to all things of the
ki..d. Hut ut, fortunately innocent people
are sometimes amde to suffer and when
that is the case we lose our temper
which however we do not plead as an
excuse f"r these remarks. W'e would
make them stranger, but desire to pre
serve our dignity.

"Thnsc having ripe cane and no
chemicals on hand can go to work on a
plan that I have tried tor the last three
Jays with good success, being out of
materials and unable to get a supply in
time," writes (1. M. Sclmaiz. Ednards-
fille, III., in tha Kurul Woild, who de
scribes the process as follows:
Heat ihe j lice to scalding point,
about 1.80S ; neutralize wiih lime soil
neither changes the blue nor red litmus
paper; bring to boiling heat and run into
settling tank and in a lew minutes draw
off. If a 7 porous alim is at hand, one
pint to a hundred gallons may be here
added to lighten the color. If not, a
little less lime thould be used in the
heater if the j lice is very dark. For
syrup use only lime enough to change
the blue litmus to purple. Noiv evap
orate rapidly to 2l'0 degrees and run the
srup into a ta. k through a hao strainer.
When through wiih tho days wink I
start my cooper finishing-pan and draw
the thin syrup with swing pipe from the
tank ns fast as needed. This fin'shing
pan is four feet long by thirty inches
deep nnd tho sides fining nut lo de
grees. It is fastened with a pair of
strap hinges on one side of the furnace
to fencing trips driven into the ground
as fastened to the furnace. In this pan
I reduce to degrees Fahrenheit for
syrup, or 2;11 degrees for sigar, accord
ing to lledes's thermometer. I boil
rapidly in this at fi st to mikn it j imp
until nearly done, then slacken down
and stir until done ; then, with a snail
rope over a puiiey above, I lilt the toii
tents into a cooler nt once. Here it is
immediately stiried and run int. another
Cooler for measuring not. My coolers
stand on a true. Ttiis can be ru.
through tho whole building on a wooden
track where wauled. This process will
tnuko sugar from the early amber where
nothing else is at hand.
Of course the lidcher cotcpnui.d
makes a better IranKpnrei.t svrup and
finer fi ivor. It seems to take the place
of the bore co ll fi ter. It is not, strictly
speaking, a granulating compound, lor
thero is no such thing It the peculiar
ity of the early umber that it will natiir
nl'v graiHilitr, with skilful woikship,
with Ii no alone. II nv many of our va
rieties will do this I am not yet able to
tell In using tht! I'. -leher comp iiind, I
use one filth Irss linn? nnd fue pints ol
the co np .und to I'M gallons of the
j lice, either ril t alter the defecated
juice, I liavc not as jet found much
diHerence.
Some seem to ha o an idea that solu
tion 15 is s ilplrtr acid. This a great mis
talc. I do not mean to say that there
is no sulphurous acid in solution . The
three ingredients of solution IS have all
been used separately, but in combina
tion ihey seem to act dill'-rentlv, which
is Professor Stt-wan's patent. I would
advise those tint familiar with sulphurous
acid to let it alone. It does not make
syrup granuUte. Il will prevent i .ver
sion of sugar to some extent, if rightl)
usd. hut H"t io I'm shiipn il is n.-w in

eaily amber cunc t.i cut close to ihe
ground R'd lop anywhere clear of the

l.jlchci's conipaund referred to and

about three parts of porous alum and
